Our coastal and marine ecosystems—mangroves, seagrass beds, and coral reefs—are the sturdy belts protecting our shores from erosion and disasters.
They are more than just scenery. They provide livelihoods for millions and play a critical role in carbon sequestration and climate regulation.
Mangroves are priceless green shields against storms. Yet, they face severe degradation from climate change and human activity. CTNC is committed to acting now to restore this vital defense.
Technology is the foundation, but action on the ground creates change. We collaborate with local communities to replant forests and develop sustainable livelihood models like eco-tourism and under-canopy aquaculture.
From GIS & Remote Sensing to data analytics, we use cutting-edge tools to monitor ecosystems, calculate carbon stocks accurately, and make timely decisions to protect our natural resources.
